How To Tell If Supermarket Chicken Is Lab-Grown

The USDA approved the commercial sale of cell-cultivated meat in 2023. Although it has yet to become widely available, there are ways to differentiate it from conventional chicken.

If and when it does hit store shelves, the label approved by the USDA for these products is "cell-cultivated chicken." It will likely be stocked alongside other meat products.

For now, there is only one butcher shop where cell-cultivated chicken can be purchased in Singapore called Huber's Bakery, which has been selling the product since May 2024.

The goal is to make the product more widely available. Your location will depend on how it's labeled and sold, and it may continue to be unavailable in some states and countries.
